Blast from the past '02

Look what I dug up from my past!! I've been a big No Doubt fan since high school and I finally got to go to my first No Doubt concert in '02, Summer Sonic in Japan. I made this with the intension to give to Gwen when she was in front of me (I made sure to get to the front and stay there, it was absolutely awesome!) but unfortunately I didn't take into account that I would be drowning under the sudden wave of human bodies. So, yeah, never stood a chance... haha! Anyways this was me at 21.

Life Drawing: Burlesque

This weekend was jammed packed with drawing around the Melbourne city. First we started off from Melbourne Central slowly made our way to The Block. Then we were waiting in anticipation to see the Zombie march but unfortunately we were in a totally different street and before we knew it it was over. Though I was lucky enough to bump into a few zombies on the street. Then our last stop was the Burlesque life drawing. Shown here is one of the models, Jess Daly.

Armadale

I like looking around and taking in my surrounding and this is what I encountered in Armadale the other day...

Contemplating and Harry Potter

Because the holiday seasons I've been able to get some time to myself and think. Been thinking a lot and while in this thought process I've also been going around taking reference pictures with my trusty camera.



I am a big Harry Potter fan. I've been rereading all the books and watching all the movies, or at least to the latest one that's available on DVD. The books had been a big journey and now with the movies I am repeating history!! (well, my history). So I was thinking to myself what scene stuck with me the most?? I had to think very long for this one. It's the whole experience and the world you get caught up in that makes me love it so much. But if I HAD to pick one scene it would be when Harry first goes to Diagon Alley. That place is just amazing it has everything in that alleyway. The next I love is the stairwell of Hogwarts. Ok, so I didn't pick a particular scene or event but those places grabbed my attention but that just explains what I said before that I loved the world and atmosphere.

Now I ask what was your favorite part of the movie??

Sketch Book: Arcade (Japan)

This was done when I was last in Japan. I was sitting with Rob having a coffee in an arcade in Namba, Osaka. A place we went to quite often while our stay there. It is loud crowded and lots of people shouting to grab attention from potential customers, flyer and tissue distributors and pachinko parlors. I was taking all this in and thought to myself someone could possibly have an information overload just walking through these arcades. So I made a sketch while there sipping on my 3rd refill of coffee at Mister Doughnuts.

Sarah Vain and Tall

I had the opportunity to be apart of this project, an up and coming brand dedicated to tall women and girls. I designed the logo and identity for Sarah Vain and Tall with designer and director of Sarah Vain and Tall, Anne Shea.

This is the logo,identity/brand for Sarah Vain and Tall.


Here is a one half of the branding/identity image of Sarah vain and tall which is taking a simple approach. When having to make avatars and identities for online communities and portfolios it was important to get the Sarah Vain and tall image out and easy to recognize and scalable, and so the simple approach came about.


This is with the logo. Currently used for the Sarah Vain and Tall Facebook Avatar.

Look what I found!!
